SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL
RESPONSIBILITY
The planet’s sustainability is one of the key values of the B&M Group, which is strongly committed to an environmentally mindful approach throughout all departments and processes. We believe that the future belongs not only to those with a responsible perspective regarding the planet, but also to those who make possible such perspective.
This is the context that precedes the CTESI GREEN, a set of solutions aimed at a greater water and energy sustainability. With CTESI GREEN solutions, small actions make all the difference. The result – high savings on the consumption of water without affecting the efficiency and the comfort of using our products.
Eco-Safe
Eco-Safe Cartridges
The CTESI eco-safe cartridges are characterized by its opening feature in 2 handle positions: half opening and full opening. With the handle’s half opening, you will have a 50% flow of water and, should you need a greater flow, you will have to activate the full opening. While increasing the possibilities for the regulation of the flow of water, it is possible to save water and energy.
Cartridges in Ceramic
All CTESI taps are equipped with cartridges in ceramic which gradually and accurately regulate the water flow and temperature. These cartridges offer an increased durability and resistance to wearing, which ensures increased efficiency and longevity of our taps.
1/4 Turn Threads
These taps are fit with elbows allowing them to open the maximum tap flow by rotating the handle only ¼ turn. This technology allows for an easier control of the intended water flow and speeds up the handling of the tap, and reducing water and energy waste at the same time.
Timed Taps
Effortlessly and with all the comfort, you may choose timed taps for a rationalized water use, in your home or in public spaces.
Electronic Taps
The CTESI electronic taps consist in taps equipped with an electronic sensor for an efficient water use in accordance with the public hygiene standards. They are fitted with the Aquablock system, which allows for the blocking of the sensor in case of abusive use, avoiding the waste of water.
Saving Tap Aerators
The tap aerators are essential components for purposes of saving water, which prevent the accumulation of small limestone debris and limit the water flow. With our range of saving tap aerators, you will be able to achieve a reduction of up to 50% water in the taps of your home. These tap aerators mix air with water, giving the same sensation of water flow and pressure, but reducing the water flow in a very effective way.
Eco-energy
Eco-Energy Cartridges
The CTESI eco-energy system, which is fit on the Jazzy and Keen taps, enables to save energy without affecting your comfort and convenience. When activating the tap in the handle’s central position, the tap will always open with cold water, preventing the water heating system from being initiated each time you turn on the tap. In order to select the intended temperature, with the eco-energy system, you simply need to rotate the handle to the left, towards the direction of hot water.
FSC CERTIFICATION - FOREST
